Timeline Summary

Famous Handoran opera singer Bei Fong is performing in the Arenan Alliance, having taken a long hiatus after her husband's death during the Two Year Gap. Kaida, Salvatore, Jakob, Charlotte, and Verinne have come to watch. The opera's writer and director, Huixia Chang, freaks out when Bei Fong goes missing. The group offers to help look for her, and assistant director Byun Jong tells them she was last seen heading to her hotel with her assistant, Mai Tai. Charlotte gets pissed when they won't let her take Bei Fong's role instead of the actual understudy, Che Ling. They head to the hotel, where they're joined by Mentir the Solemn. Verinne declares Prince Sigurd to be a tool. They enter Bei Fong's room after everyone tries a different plan of entrance. There are signs of a struggle. They call a number they find, and the person on the other end refuses to talk to them. They head for a Handoran restaurant which is an obvious criminal front. Mentir attempts to murder their waitress in front of everyone, but the waitress fights back. Mentir runs the hell away and lets the others deal with the ensuing chaos. Salvatore Falcon Kicks a flaming table. There is much gunfire. People are set ablaze as the building burns down. The group returns to the opera house to find Mai Tai. She tells them Bei Fong was in massive debt. Suddenly, Bei Fong shows up, having been freed from the basement of the restaurant when they burned it down. After arguing with Byun for money, the group learns he was involved in Bei's kidnapping. The group, injured and exhausted, departs.
